Mit Stil: Horch 930 V BJ 1937 | mobile engine
As the Reichswehr 1920 was very limited in size and scope of the terms of the Versailles Treaty, and that the economic situation has not, in any case, allow for lavish spending of equipment most needs transport of the army were met using suitable commonly used commercial vehicles of all types of vehicles, as they did not cost very cheap and mobile, were personnel carriers based on car chassis fitted with a utility simply open body of the type known under the name literally Kubelsitzer bucket seats This type of vehicle, as the name suggests, comprised little more than the chassis and end before normal, as in normal motor car, with robust metal seats supported fixed frame screens frames folding canvas took the place of doors, and there were canvas cover, like a sports car, to be erected in bad t ime although the cross-country performance was very limited, the vehicle's style was something of a trend setter and small utility personnel carriers have since come to be common equipment in all armies.
To improve the cross-country capability, these first Kübelwagens had large section tires, reinforced springs and axle ratios lower than their commercial equivalents In 1930, this vehicle has seen an increasingly wide use with German army and was one of the most characteristic and distinctive kinds Kübelwagens These were used as weapons of tractors fire lighter cars, staff, radio cars, drive cars, vehicles of the Ordnance survey, and signal line layers and serving personnel carriers for the motorized units the trials held in 1930 found that the chassis of the car made by Daimler-Benz, Adler and Wanderer were the best, and these predominated brands service.
From 1933, when the National Socialist power took and began to manifest re-armament of the German forces, there was an expansion in the growing scale with the mechanization of the army enlaged considerably according priority schemes At that time, different cars on appropriate commercial chassis were classified as Leichte Personnenkraftwagen light passenger car makeup approved capacity of 1500cc engine Mittlerer Personenkraftwagen average passenger car approved up to 3000 cc engine capacity Schwerer Personenkraftwagen heavy passenger car approved up to 3000 cc engine capacity.
The types of light passenger cars each received a designation based on their destination Kfz Kraftfahrzeug 1 is the designation for basic light transport; Kfz 2 denotes a motor vehicle light drive signals Kraftkahrzeug Means vehicles were designated similaryly Kfz 11 upwards according to the function in the heavy class as the Kfz support 21 heavy cross country staff has been produced, as has was the last type to be approved and ordered it entered service in 1937 and was based on the Auto Union Horch EFM frame remains in production until 1940, after Austria was annexed, the Steyr 1500A was also built this onerous requirement, but also referred Kfz 21 model Horch Auto Union EFM was a hp V-8 engine 80 and four-wheel drive because of its length, there were three rows of two seats, six men in all wheels replacement were performed on the side panels flanking the first and second rows of seats ordinary commercial tourer car on which military Kubelwagen personalize a car el senior officer the Kfz 21 was described in German as cross-country touring car Heavy Schwerer gelandegangiger Personenkraftwagen 6 sitzer 6 places I t was the normal kind of open Kubelsitzer body and a higher total length canvas folding is 15 feet 11 inches .
One of the problems with politics original vehicle purchase on the basis of trade was the wide variety of brands taken inventory and associated maintenance and spare parts supply different brands engine problem , transmission, chassis, etc. Meant that the stock of spare parts required was immense Thus, once the largest weapons program was underway, it was decided in 1934 to replace the commercial base chassis range with a new range of standardized chassis types it was expected that the three car classes on the ground, light, medium and heavy, have many common parts, including suspension units, and passenger cars and heavy have steering wheels on the front and back, and would have four-wheel This proved to be too ambitious ideal, even in the beginning, to the cost factor and time required to develop such a sophisticated series of vehicles was immense Only the first turning of vehicles had rear wheels, and this requirement was dropped in 1940 to simplify the production Horch Auto Union were the main builders in both the means and motorcyc heavy res in the program Einheits einheitsfahrgestell standard chassis engine Auto Union Horch Chassis I for heavy passenger cars schwerer Personenkraftwagen was produced in 1935. As part of the overall plan, it was planned to use this chassis with a motor mounted to the back to the armored cars with an engine mounted in the front for passenger cars the original chassis with front and rear wheels, ME was appointed, and later chassis production from 1939 to 1940 I was appointed b the frame presented four-wheel drive There was a torque converter with a limited differential action to prevent the winding in the front axle drive has been powered directly from the main gearbox, which comprises a third differential There were five forward gears, a reverse gear and a low auxiliary gear to the ground work there was a di fférentiel locking on the rear axle with a normal d ifferential front, this arrangement ensuring that all wheels driving force received regardless of the terrain There was independent suspension, each wheel having two radius arms sprung two coil springs between the energy beam arms and a support on the chassis frmae dampers have been incorporated in the suspension to prevent damage to the steering arms the four wheel facilty proved unsatisfactory long-term steering of the rear wheels is optional controlled by a dog clutch actuated by a lever of the driving position using four driving and rapid training, the vehicle was found killed laterally; and it was not popular, and after an experience of four flying was banned altogether to exceed 13 mph speeds This limitation makes the entire installation of the slight value it was completely dropeed production chassis in before 1940.
Automobile production land with tis chassis began in late 1938 Outwardly all Horch heavy Auto Union cars are similar regardless of the actual chassis model, but in 1940 the case has been greatly simplified, and the Ford plant in Berlin was also then engaged in the production Ford vehicles had built a Ford June 3 liter V-8 engine 78 hp instead of the unit Horch late 1940 models lacked the cavities in the body and the chassis fitted for wheel support arm spare production ceased in 1941 in favor of a new regime under the Schell- Programm that sought to completely streamline automotive production in this scheme, the heavy car shared the chassis January 5 tons light truck heavy cars Auto- Union Horch remained in service throughout World war 2, however, and were among the most common of all German vehicles fronts the Auto Union Horch on heavy touring car chassis was used in several roles, although the body open layout followed the old idea Kubelsitzer, all but the very Earlies t had the additional refinement side doors metal rather than canvas side screens the following were among the types based on this Fernsprechkraftwagen chassis Kfz 23 Telephone Truck Leichter Scheinwerferkraftwagen I Kfz 83 Light Searchlight truck I Leichter Scheinwerferkraftwagen II Kfz 83 Light Searchlight Truck II Protzkraftwagen Kfz 59 Limber or towing light firearms vehicle Mannschaftskraftwagen Kfz 81 Light AA vehicle with some 2cm Flak gun mounted All were above the open body, but differ in function and in some cased, internal stowage and equipment in addition, the following were built on the chassis Sanitaetskraftwagen Kfz 31 Am bulance Verstarkerfraftwagen Kfz 24 maintenance trucks both had a closed van body type.
